  • Frequently Asked Questions What Will the Bishops' 2017 Ad
    Frequently Asked Questions What will the bishops’ 2017 Ad Limina visit to Rome involve? The bishops’ visit which combines prayer including at the tombs of the apostles, a series of meetings that with the staff of the various diacasteries (departments) of the Roman Curia in the Holy See to share their pastoral experience, and a meeting with the Holy Father. Which Irish bishops are attending the Ad Limina pilgrimage? There are 26 dioceses on the island of Ireland and all serving bishops – or a diocesan administrator if the diocese is currently not being led by a bishop - will be taking part in this pilgrimage. Please see below the list of bishops and diocesan administrators attending the 2017 Ad Limina visit. With whom will Irish bishops be meeting? During the visit the bishops will meet with the relevant staff of the various dicasteries of the Curia. The dicasteries have special significance and importance because of the close connection that exists between them and the Pope in his mission of leadership in the universal Church. Bishops will discuss the situation of the Church in Ireland at this time, make known pastoral initiatives, to discuss specific issues of concern, ask questions, seek information, and furnish clarifications. A list of the dicastaries which the bishops intend to visit is available below. What might be contained in a diocesan report prepared for the Ad Limina visit? Prior to the Ad Limina visit, each diocesan bishop submits a report on his diocese to the Holy See. The report from each diocese describes the actual situation of the Church in that diocese (overview of the present situation, facts and figures) for which the diocesan bishop is responsible, its challenges, its relations with non-Catholic and non-Christian religious communities, with civil society and with the public authorities.
